SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: National Survey on Recreation
and the Environment.
OMB Number: 0596–0127.
Expiration Date of Approval: 8/31/07.
Type of Request: Revision.
Abstract: Federal land-managing
agencies are responsible for the
management of more than 650 million
acres of public lands; this includes
management for recreation
opportunities. To manage well and
wisely, knowledge of recreation
demands, opinions, preferences, and
attitudes regarding the management of
these lands is imperative and necessary
to the development of effective policy,
planning, and on-the-ground
management. For all federal agencies,
input from and knowledge about the
public is mandatory.
For both land and non-land
management agencies, the collection
and analysis of public demand data is
vital to designing effective policies and
programs for the management and use of
water, forest, and wildlife resources.
Authorizing legislation for this
collection is the Forest and Rangeland
Renewable Resources Planning Act
(RPA) (PL 93–378–88 Stat. 475), which
directs the Secretary of Agriculture to

assess the status of the Nation’s forest
and range lands periodically and to
recommend a Forest Service program for
their sustained management and use.
Among the program areas included in
the Forest Service assessment are
outdoor recreation and wilderness.
This collection is a multi-agency
partnership. The Forest Service (U.S.
Department of Agriculture) and the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (U. S. Department of
Commerce) are the lead agencies. This
is the ninth in a series of surveys
conducted since 1960. The survey:
(1) Measures the public demand on
the Nation’s land, water, and other
natural resources for outdoor recreation;
(2) Identifies public perceptions of
accessibility to recreational sites;
(3) Seeks public feedback regarding
the management of public recreation
sites and natural resources;
(4) Asks for suggestions on how
public agencies can improve
management of public recreation areas
and natural resources;
(5) Seeks information on public
attitudes about the environment and
preferences for public and private
recreational sites; and
(6) Identifies shifts in recreational
demands that might influence the
delivery of recreational services.
The survey consists of a telephone
survey of 75,000 individuals, age 16 or
older, residing in the United States and
will be conducted using computerassisted telephone interviewing (CATI)
technology. The Human Dimensions
Research Laboratory at the University of
Tennessee in Knoxville, TN will
conduct the telephone interviews and
data collection. A team of research
scientists representing the main federal
agencies involved in the survey will
analyze the data. Both English and
Spanish versions of the questionnaires
will be used.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 15
minutes per respondent.
Type of Respondents: Individuals.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 25,000.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 65.
